Come in, come in, we have gloriously sarcastic and opinionated staff waiting to serve you. Malory will never know as I have it on the best authority she is safely away for the week.

Who's first?

Hey HC we have actually helped people a bit, me as well. I thought it was just going to be amusing and now I feel strangely ashamed and touched...

Anyone in?

I need a pair of brown shoes/sandals to wear to a wedding. My dress is cream with brown embroidery and beads and some red beads too (sounds horrendous but it's quite simple). I want high heels - elegant but comfy.

I'm not very good with slip on ones - better if there's a strap or a 'slingback' - slip on ones just fall off my feet.

Ta muchly.

MrsBadger · 18/02/2006 23:37

ooh, I'll have a pair of those too GDG - need to match a brown chiffon bridesmaid dress and bride has rejected the metallic ones I liked.

GDG · 18/02/2006 23:41

Which metallic ones badger - do you have a link?

MrsBadger · 18/02/2006 23:48

They were in a little shoe shop and unbranded, so no help and no pic. Bit like Clark's Sukie (can't link as their site is all Flash) but more bronze rather than gold. New Look had some similar too.

What brought on that particularly pleasant comment welshboris?

OP posts:
welshboris · 19/02/2006 13:29

Not unpleasant, just stating my opinion.

You always seem desperate to be in the "clique"

Its not a bad thing as such, a lot of people wanted to be in the cool gang in school
